Most of the dishes on the table were untouched, except for the fish that was finished. This kind of banquet is mainly for talking about business, not really for eating.
Yi Huiman talked about it for a while, describing various bright prospects. Bai Yongxiang was moved first. In his opinion, this was a conversation where insiders took the initiative to contact and cooperate, seize the opportunity, and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.
It’s the same as those who know the land value will appreciate before the land plan is announced and buy a house early...
But Bai Yongxiang looked at Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan never expressed his position, so he didn't speak. Seeing this, Yi Huiman smiled and said: "Brother, if you have any ideas, why don't you speak up? The standards have not been determined yet, and we are only making preliminary plans. It is easy to discuss.
What do I think?
I just want to do QR code payment, get rid of your NFC!
However, Yao Yuan knows that there is currently a lack of foundation. At least we will have to wait until WeChat users exceed 300 million before we can launch payment. By then, we will have to fight with Alipay and face policy issues.
It’s obvious!
UnionPay and operators are promoting NFC, but your QR code leads to overtaking in a corner. How can they agree?
This is also true. In 2013, WeChat Pay was launched, which together with Alipay promoted the rapid development of QR codes. However, in 2014, it was suddenly stopped by the Central Bank.
The reason is that there are safety risks.
It cannot be simply a conspiracy theory, because after 2 years, the QR code was released again, and a series of more complete measures were introduced, indicating that the upper management was indeed investigating.
But we cannot simply think that there is no problem, there are too many stakeholders.
Of course, at this moment, Yao Yuan did not refuse and asked: "With these functions, the cost of the mobile phone will be greatly increased. Which one of you will give me a subsidy? How much subsidy?"
"The tentative price is 50 yuan per mobile phone."
"Too little! Our selling price is already low and the profit is thin. We can consider 300 yuan.
"It's absolutely impossible to pay 300 yuan. We gave it to the contract machine..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What about the production volume? How much do you want?
“We will promote it to large customers first, see if they are interested, and then produce according to orders.
"No, if your quantity is too small, it won't be enough for me to open a production line, starting from 1 million units!
"One million is too much!
The two of them fought back and forth. Yao Yuan insisted that Meizu would not make any money and wanted more subsidies. The conditions he proposed were very harsh.
He doesn't want to make a bullshit NFC phone at all, he just doesn't want to stalemate the relationship. If he can get more money to ensure that the interests are not damaged, it doesn't hurt to produce some.
"OK OK!
Seeing that he had gone too far, Yi Hui quickly tried to persuade him to make peace, saying: "We can't achieve anything through the talks for a while. If we really want to cooperate, we have to discuss it in detail later. Anyway, we will have a meeting after the Spring Festival. Then I can understand each other. We really have an advantage."
.
"Okay, for your sake, let's drink today."
"That's right, come on, I'll pour it for you... Yi Huiman poured the wine himself and changed the subject:
"Your overseas acquisitions went quite smoothly. Although it took a year, compared with those that could not be negotiated for three to five years, they were very fast.
How is it going? What are your development plans for this year? “It’s difficult, filming is the most troublesome!
Yao Yuan shook his head and said: "Our video website has just been launched in North America. We will launch several original dramas this year. There are strong competitors in North America, so I might have to go and take charge of it myself.
"Want to make those science fiction films you mentioned?" "Some of them, the themes are diverse."
"Oh, the movie market is getting more and more popular now. I don't watch movies very much, but I usually pay attention to some works. Everyone is discussing them. If I don't discuss them, I feel like I don't belong to the group."
"If you ask me, you can only watch movies produced by 99 in China. Zhang Yimou is out of date..."
"Hey, don't flatter me and kill me, come and have a drink!
After the serious talk was over, Yao Yuan did not refuse, and Yi Huiman was very satisfied. The topic became light and entertaining, and Yao Yuan also talked about celebrity gossip.
Celebrities are always inseparable from big shots.
After eating and drinking until very late, the game ended. Yao Yuan sent Bai Yongxiang back to the hotel, and the two chatted a lot more in the lobby on the first floor.
"You don't have to worry about mobile payment. It's too involved. I'll take care of it. I'll leave it to you for Meizu and Meizu 4 flagship phones."
"Don't worry, everything will go smoothly."
Bai Yongxiang nodded and said, "I still don't know how to start with the smart life you mentioned. Where do I start?"
"Let's raise money and go public first. Don't go to the United States. Go to Hong Kong. If you have enough money, build a science and technology park, AI laboratory, and intelligent product research base. This is a 10-year plan, don't rush. By the way...

Yao Yuan remembered something and asked: "Do you know about Transsion mobile phone?"
"Transsion? The one that sells goods in Africa?" Bai Yongxiang said.
"Yes, you go talk to their boss and invest in them."
"It is difficult to enter the European and American markets. Africa is indeed a treasure land. OK, I will go and meet him."
Bai Yongxiang is also interested and has not considered the issue of failure. Transsion is a small company and cannot resist 99. Besides, investment is a two-way street. Maybe others also want to raise funds?
"It's too late, I have to go back, you have a good rest.
"Um······"
After 12 o'clock in the night, Bai Yongxiang got up to see Yao Yuan off. Finally, he remembered something and asked: "That Al at the 10th anniversary party..."
"What?" "Why is it called a creek?" "Uh..."
Yao Yuan scratched his head, he couldn't say that Meizu's AI was originally called Xiaoxi, and said: "There is no explanation, I made it up.
"Oh, the creek sounds pretty good. If it is really developed, it would be good to call it a creek."
"drop!"
Palm Springs, Yao Yuan pressed the door lock.
The floor lamp in the living room was on, the light was dim and warm, and some unknown program was playing on the TV. Yin Yin was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, her two long legs stretched out, just from one end to the other.
As soon as Yao Yuan walked around in slippers, her voice sounded: "Why are you back?"
"I chatted with Lao Bai again for a while, are you still awake? "I'm squinting, your mother called."
"What?"
"They said the smog is too serious and they asked us all to go to Sanya to celebrate the New Year. Are you okay with the Spring Festival?"
"I...I'm fine, I can push it later." "Okay, let's go to Sanya."
Yinyin turned off the TV, yawned and went into the bedroom. Yao Yuan took a shower and lay down on the bed.
He stretched out his right arm, and a slender and soft body lay down naturally. He had nothing to say, and Yao Yuan closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
After a while, I suddenly heard: "I am 28 this year."
"What's wrong?"
"We made an agreement at the beginning that I would have a baby when Yuezi Street was launched. When did you say it would be launched?"
"Is this kind of thing so rigid? If you want to have a baby, you can have a baby. If you don't want to, you can't have a baby.
In his two lifetimes, Yao Yuan really didn't have a strong desire to reproduce. It's okay if he wants it or not, but Yinyin said: "I have changed my mind. After experiencing entrepreneurship, I understand that entrepreneurship is just that.
Of course, I still want to put Yuzu Street on the market, let’s wait two years and see what happens, okay?”
"Um······"
Yao Yuan kissed her face, touched her head, hugged her tightly and fell asleep.
